Chocolate Thunder Run Saturday

Motorcyclists, get ready to rev those engines in support of Ridge youth organizations at the "Chocolate Thunder Motorcycle Run" Saturday. All motorcycle enthusiasts are invited to join the fun.

Participants should start the rally by checking in at 9 a.m. in Paradise, at Town of Paradise Park & Ride on Skyway (Boys & Girls Club). The rally begins at 10 a.m. and will travel to check points throughout Butte County, including Scotty's Boat Landing in Chico, Feather River Canyon at Scooter's Caf?, then on to Lake Oroville's Lime Saddle Marina for a noon check-in. From there, riders will form a parade up Pentz Road to Clark to the Elks Lodge.

The run will include a Hot Dog Barbecue, an Event Pin to the first 200 riders, cash prizes, Holly Taylor & the Hot Flash Band, refreshments at each stop, and lots and lots of chocolate.

Check-in is from 9 to 10 a.m. at the Paradise Park & Ride lot, 6241 Skyway, and directions will be issued at that time for the route to the check-in points. There will be a fee of $20 per rider or $30 per couple, and dozens of prizes will be awarded.
